Evaluation of Correlations Between Volatile Organic Compounds and Venous Blood Glucose in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

Evaluation of Correlations Between Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Spectra Measured With GC-IMS and MOx-sensors and Venous Blood Glucose in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this study is to evaluate correlations between VOCs in the breath and venous blood glucose values in various glycaemic states in people living with Type 2 Diabetes. VOCs are measured with a gold-standard GC-IMS device and a prototype of a novel breath analyzer. Participants will be exposed to different blood glucose levels at different rates of change by administering glucose solution and insulin and by a meal challenge.
